A well-rounded 5-string with beautiful woods and quality electronics from Ibanez.

The 5-string Ibanez SR705 Electric Bass delivers clean, punchy bass tone in a sleek playable package. The mahogany body with figured maple top and 5-piece jakota and bubinga bolt-on neck make for enhanced resonance and attack. A U-profile neck with 12" fretboard radius makes the Ibanez SR705 maneuverable and smooth. Split-coil Bartolini pickups give you all of the kick you need without compromising tone. A 3-band EQ with mid-frequency selector lets you seal in your sound. Cosmo black hardware and a gloss finish give the Ibanez SR705 its sleek appearance and round out this well equipped 5-string.

Awesome bass, plain and simple! Smooth, fast, THIN, and sturdy neck. Ive played other 5 stringers, and this one has a suprisingly low neck profile & low action. Most are chunky and uncomfortable for a smaller-handed bassist like myself, this is not the case with the SR705. Build Quality is TRIUMPHANT! Wide range of tonal qualitys from the PU's; and the mid-range switch is very handy if you play metal and hard rock. I only play through an Ampeg BA115 and it shatters walls on the stock settings. On a side note; this got shipped from Kansas - Boston, and it was in tune when it arrived. I was shocked. It might be slightly pricy, but you get more than your moneys-worth! Get this bass, do it, do it now!

Overall, an amazing instrument. One little thing with it is that it eats up 9 volts realativly quickly. Playing it 10 hours a week, a battery lasts about a month. Otherwise, it is a match made in heaven.This bass has absolutely everything I ever looked for in a bass of any sort of bass. The onboard EQ is absolutely incredible. When they say bass boost/bass cut on the one knob, they really mean it!! Also every tool needed to adjust it except a philips screwdriver were in the box as well. The bass came out of the box and it was ready to play once it was tuned. The bass is beautiful and durable. I have already traveled with it and it is rugged, but still sounds great. It may seem expensive but it was worth every penny for how amazing of an intrument it turned out to be. That is really the only way i can put it i guess.
